Africa: WHO Global Conference On Communicating Science During Health Emergencies Sparks Enormous Public Interest

press release

How can we communicate scientific uncertainty? Can the use of humor, serious games and arts help us to make science more understandable? What can we do to communicate scientific processes in a more transparent way?

These and more questions were discussed at the WHO global conference on communicating science during health emergencies, which took place virtually from 7 to 25 June 2021. In a world marked by the COVID-19 pandemic, everybody has become a science communicator - may it be at work, the dinner table or on social media. The conference convened professional and every-day science communicators from a broad range of disciplines to identify the challenges they encountered during the pandemic and find solutions to make science accessible and relevant to all.
